Matching older pair Bic America Ventura Speakers with a new center speaker help: I'm looking to add a Center speaker and was wondering if they would be tonally matched with the BIC America DV-62CLRS 6-Inch 2-Way Center Channel Speaker because they are...

The DV-62 is meant to pair with the DV64 (they actually have the same drivers). I think either the DV-62 or the FH-6 would suit you just fine.

If you are talking about the physical size of the speaker, it matters not (though matching speakers - size, model, manufacturer - are probably going to give an overall better sound/listening experience.MCACC does not consider anything except the placement of the speakers, which should at least approximate the standards of 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 etc. Please check out this web page on the subject (actually, the entire website is incredibly helpful!): http://www.audioholics.com/home-theater-connection/home-theater-speaker-layout-an-essential-guide

Sorry, we were not actually using this for a center channel speaker. I don't even recall the speakers that we attached. It was for a corporate video conf installation and we were just retrofitting what was already there. The speakers were mounted on the sides of the TVs and we just relocated them to the bottom. Sorry I could not help you.

Not sure I understand what you want to do. Are you talking of using "JUST" this speaker or of using your left right speakers AND this as a center? This alone will not work, but if you are wanting to use left/right speakers and then this as a center it should work. My left/right speakers are roughly six feet apart with my center in the middle and it is very effective. If your amp/receiver supports surround sound you will find that in most movies, etc. the dialogue is channeled through the center speaker. This allows the music and other sound effects to come from your left/right speakers but lets the voices seem to come from the picture itself. It makes for a more natural experience. In normal music listening the center speaker is turned down some or it would over power your left/right speakers and you would tend to lose your left/right separation. Hope this helps some.

Denon AVR-#### 4 numbers in the model number or Onkyo. Your center channel speaker should set max power output you are looking for in an amp. 50 watts from either brand drive them great

Should work out fine. The speakers may not be "voiced" exactly the same however but I use Klipsch for my L&R; and Center and even though they are perfectly "Matched" according to Klipsch, you can always tell a slight tonal difference between the L&R; speakers and the RC-62. NO big deal! Go for it!

I believe that the BIC Acoustechs are solid performers for the money. I've worked with the Polks where they ran 16 hrs a day, 7 days a week at moderately high volume and they were great performers, but I'm also using the BIC 12" subwoofer as well and they perform as well as a pair of KEF C55 speakers that I used for several years. Again, for the money they can't be beat, the Acoustechs, and I HIGHLY recommend that you pick up the 12" sub to augment the bottom end of the other two speakers - you just can't beat that bottom end! Hope this helps you out a bit.

I believe you can use it but I would highly recommend BIC America FH6-LCR Dual 6.5-Inch 175-Watt LCR Speaker with Mid/High Frequency Horn I have this as my center and the clarity is unbelievable. This is a BIG center speaker so make sure you have space for it.

I just got the RF 82's too and paired them with the RS-52's. The RS-52's sound great with in the setup. These surrounds are like 2 bookshelves combined in a semi circle array. If you are willing to pay a little more for the 62's why not go for a little more power. I would say get a good center too at least RC-62 or above to make a good match.

It would be fine to use a center speaker but I would rather recommend this speaker as it is designed to be a center...Polk Audio 255C-RT In-wall / In-ceiling center channel speaker

Youll have to do what Most of us did, replace it with another type of center speaker or find it used. :p Ebay or craigslist is your best hope, but this speaker is really hard to find. if you need a great alternative center speaker im sure you can ask or someone will post here eventually. :p

I have them paired up with a 12" CerwinVega. I think they hold their own. Great speakers.

A Bose 191 speaker will work very well as a center channel speaker. Try eBay.

I had to look up the 'Reference 8 towers' but you could probably insert the RC-62 II into your A/V rig as the center channel speaker flanked by the Reference 8 Towers. I have been toying with the idea of putting my Klipsch RF-82 II towers as my front pair of speakers in my A/V system using the RC-62 II as the center channel unit and a pair of RF-61 II bookshelf speakers for the rear channel reproduction. Currently my RF-82 II's are dedicated to my high end stereo system.

BIC in fact does not make an in wall center channel speaker. I would recommend the wall mountable PL 28II About $200. Great center channel. And absolutely the best bang for the buck.
